How do we come to know our internal worlds, the parts that slip, gurgle, and work in silence? We encounter them in waiting rooms, through scans and reports, or in the sudden rush of movement, the stomach’s drop, the heart’s thud, the body’s insistence: I am here. When you place your hand on your heart, do you feel it, hear it, or imagine it first? And a tumor? Its pulse-does it speak in vibration, hum, or frequency?

If organs are made of cells, and cells of electrical pulses, perhaps we are resonance rather than matter, oscillations folding inward and outward. Biological Oscillators is an interactive sculpture with five internal “tumors,” each a transducer translating genetic being into sound. Using field recordings, Geofón-captured movements, and contact-mic improvisation, the work invites us to listen differently, sensing the body beneath consciousness through vibration and frequency, inhabiting internal experience beyond visualization or language.
